Video Notes on How to Crochet Mini Ramen Bowl
- Materials Needed: White, red, nougat yarn, 2.75 mm hook, darning needle, sharp scissors, glue, wooden toothpicks, stitch marker, tweezers, and stiff green felt.
- Starting the Bowl: Begin with a magic circle, six single crochets, followed by working in joined rounds.
- Color Changes: Instructions include switching between red and white yarn to create a stripe around the bowl.
- Finishing the Bowl: Tips on slip stitching and securing yarn tails with an invisible finish.
- Creating the Noodles: Use nougat yarn, chain 20, unravel for a curly texture, and glue it inside the bowl. Adding
- Garnishes: Craft tiny green onions from felt and glue them on top of the noodles.
- Chopsticks: Carve toothpicks into mini chopsticks and attach them to the bowl with glue.
Techniques Needed
- Magic Circle: Creates a tight, adjustable center for the crochet bowl. Wrap the yarn around your fingers to create a loop, insert the hook into the loop, and pull up a loop to start stitching.
- Single Crochet (SC): Insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over, pull through, yarn over again, and pull through both loops on the hook.
- Slip Stitch (SL ST): Joins rounds together and creates a seamless finish. Insert the hook into the stitch, yarn over, and pull through both the stitch and the loop on the hook.
- Working in Joined Rounds: Ensures the bowl is created in a non-spiral fashion, with a consistent stitch pattern. After completing a round, join the last stitch to the first stitch using a slip stitch before moving on to the next round.
- Increasing: Work two single crochets into the same stitch to increase the stitch count and expand the diameter of the bowl.
- Back Loop Only (BLO): Instead of inserting the hook under both loops of the stitch, insert it only into the back loop to create a ridge effect.
- Carving: Carve toothpicks into miniature chopsticks, cutting and sanding for a smooth finish.
- Gluing: Use UHU glue to secure the noodles and embellishments inside the bowl.
